Hello everyone. I am continuing to make good headway using up a pack of patterned paper.
Let me back up a second. I have a lot of 6x6 paper pads. I had three that were similar colors, but all nearly used up so I had been keeping them together in one quart size ziplock bag. So I basically took all of these and cut A2 cardfronts from any full pieces, and kept all the scraps, as well. I am working on using up the entire thing as quickly as I can. (If I ever figure out what the names of these pads are, I will add the info. Two were from My Mind’s eye and one was Crate Paper??)
Why? Just as a motivator as I love buying new paper, so it is good to clear some out. The other thing I noticed is that I often keep the pieces I like best (because they are too pretty to cut up) and that is just silly!
I am especially trying to rebuilt my birthday card stash! When I have enough, I will be donating many to a local nursing home.
This first card is pure silliness on my end. I had the images totally stamped and colored, even that strip of patterned paper was already attached. I just needed to add the sentiment and finish up the card.
The second and third cards are fairly simple. I went through my stamps and pulled out ones that I thought might possibly look nice with the paper. It was a fun way to give new life to stamps I might not have used yet or hadn’t seen love in a long time!
I have more cards coming! I bet I can make at least 15 cards from this paper. With the two Mother’s Day cards I recently posted, and these, that makes 5 so far! What are you working on lately?
Here is a list of stamps I used:
